The higher the slump (usaly 100 to 150 slump or S2 to S3) the easyer it is for the pump to pump it. It also needs to be a 'pump mix' that has a height quantity of sand in it to prevent it from separating. Regards Colin
Concrete :- a mix of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Mortar :- a mix of cement, sand, and water
Concrete mix is made from (sharp)sand, cement, aggregate and water. The ratios depent on the usage
The strength of concrete depends on the mix used to make it- ratio of cement, sand, gravel and water. If the mix does not produce a concrete that is strong enough, the concrete will break.
That depends on exactly what use that particular concrete mix is for.
Lean mix concrete is used for substructures like foundations,piles,etc.,Ready mix concrete is used for superstructures and also for mass construction.Generally, quality of ready mix concrete is good when compared to the lean mix concrete.Workability of lean mix concrete is high when compared to RMC.

Its the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative amounts with the objective of producing a concrete of the required, strength, durability, and workability as economically as possible, is termed the concrete mix design.
The recommended mortar mix for concrete blocks is a 1:3 ratio of cement to sand.
The concrete mix should be a 5:1 Cement to water ratio. make sure you mix thoroughly when adding water. Look up "Concrete slump test"
The best method for securing a fence post using concrete mix is to dig a hole, place the post in the hole, pour concrete mix around the post, and then add water to the mix. Allow the concrete to set and cure before attaching the fence panels.
